Foot injury ends Lamar RB Harrington's season

(STATS) - A broken left foot has ended the college career of Lamar all-time rushing leader Kade Harrington, coach Ray Woodard announced Tuesday.

The senior running back, runner-up for 2015 STATS FCS Offensive Player of the Year, was injured during Lamar's 32-31 win over Northwestern State this past Saturday. He underwent an MRI on Monday.

"Kade is a great football player, competitor and leader," Woodard said. "We will miss his fighting spirit in the huddle, but I know he will continue to be the great leader he has been over the past four seasons."

As a junior, Harrington led the FCS in rushing yards (2,092) and all-purpose yards (2,344). He was the Southland player of the year and a STATS first-team All-American.

This season, he rushed for 636 yards and four touchdowns on 123 carries, bringing his career total to 4,348 rushing yards. He also is Lamar's all-time leader in all-purpose yards (5,317), scoring (306 points), rushing touchdowns (44) and 100-yard rushing games (17).

Harrington is expected to be out three to four months before returning to football activities in preparation for Lamar's 2017 pro day.
